On the International Day of Democracy, a scientific panel titled "Media and Democracy: A Balance Between Freedom and Responsibility" was held.

The event, attended by the Dean of the Institute, media experts, and several notable academic figures, focused on discussing and shedding light on the role of the media in the democratic process and its impact on society.

Moderated by Mr. Rawezh Kamaran, an instructor at the Digital Media and Marketing Department, the panel was comprised of three main sessions:

First Session: Dr. Tara Omar Mohammed (Expert in Political Systems)

In her session, Dr. Tara highlighted the conditions required for a successful democracy and the challenges that arise in the phase of emerging democracies.

Second Session: Abubakir Karwani (Writer and Politician)
Mr. Karwani discussed the reality of democracy in the Kurdistan Region. He asserted that the region has a "margin of democracy" and therefore cannot be said to have the kind of democracy that is globally defined.

Third Session: Dr. Adalat Abdullah (Writer, Journalist, and University Professor)
In this session, Dr. Adalat discussed the role of the media in supporting the democratic system. He emphasized that media institutions are a vital part of society and must act responsibly to play a role in advancing the democratic system in the Kurdistan Region.

At the conclusion of the panel, attendees directed their questions to the panelists, leading to an in-depth and lively discussion.

Finally, Dr. Rebwar Mullah Nabi, the Dean of the Kurdistan Technical Institute, expressed his thanks and appreciation to the panelists and the panel moderator.
